For over four decades, the Human Relations Awards have recognized individuals and organizations that work to advance inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility in our community. These awards and the work they honor take on greater significance as our community continues to navigate the extraordinary challenges of polarization and social inequity. 

These annual awards recognize work in the following four categories:

  • Individual Award 
  • Organization/Team Award (non-profit or for-profit)
  • Youth Award (18 years or younger)
  • Rising Star Award

Sponsored by: The Fort Collins Human Relations Commission
